An Ontario County Supervisors committee is recommending the county nursing home be sold to a New York City company. The Health and Medical Services Committee is recommending the home be sold to The Centers for Specialty Care Group, which runs health care facilities throughout the state. The committee rejected a higher bid from a Long Island firm, at two-point-seven million dollars, saying The Centers two million dollar bid met or exceeded all the stated bid requirements. The sale will be on the agenda for the Supervisors July 11th meeting, although indications are a final vote will be tabled until the August Supervisors meeting, to give Supervisors more time for input from the public.
